In the Trump administration's latest anti-transgender action, the U.S. Departments of Justice and Education Friday announced a Title IX Special Investigations Team to investigate what they call "the pernicious effects of gender ideology in school programs and activities." By that they mean acceptance of transgender students, and LGBTQ+ organizations are condemning the move.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in the press release. "This collaborative effort with the Department of Education will enable our attorneys to take comprehensive action when women's sports or spaces are threatened and use the full power of the law to remedy any violation of women's civil rights."
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. "... To all the entities that continue to allow men to compete in women's sports and use women's intimate facilities: there's a new sheriff in town. We will not allow you to get away with denying women's civil rights any longer."
"This sounds like another incoherent and baseless plan with the potential to waste untold taxpayer resources to pursue an unhinged agenda of animus," a GLAAD spokesperson told The Advocate. "In Maine, no fewer than six federal agencies reportedly swarmed the state over two transgender students."
